What is Pipe Relining?
Pipe relining is a modern drain repair technique that restores damaged or broken pipes without digging them up.
Instead of removing the existing pipe, a specialised liner saturated with resin is inserted into the damaged pipe and expanded. Once cured, the liner forms a new, extremely durable pipe within the original pipe.
The result is a seamless internal pipe that restores structural integrity and prevents future issues such as:
- Tree root intrusion
- Cracks and fractures
- Pipe displacement
- Leaks
- Repeated blockages
This process essentially creates a new pipe inside the old one, significantly extending the life of your drainage system.
CCTV Drain Inspection
We begin with a CCTV drain inspection to locate the exact position and extent of the pipe damage.
Our Process
How Pipe Relining Works
Our professional pipe relining process typically involves the following steps
Pipe Cleaning & Preparation
The pipe is thoroughly cleaned using high-pressure water jetting to remove debris, tree roots, grease, and scale buildup.
Liner Installation
A flexible liner saturated with specialised resin is inserted into the damaged pipe.
Inflation & Curing
The liner is inflated so it moulds perfectly to the inside of the existing pipe. The resin then cures and hardens to form a strong structural pipe within the original drain.
Final CCTV Inspection
A final camera inspection is conducted to ensure the repair has been completed successfully and the pipe is fully operational.
Innovative Technology
What Makes Pipe Relining Different?
Traditional pipe repair methods often involve extensive excavation, which can damage landscaping, driveways, and surrounding structures.
Pipe relining offers a completely different approach.
Instead of digging trenches across your property, the repair is carried out entirely from existing access points, making it far less invasive.
This means pipe relining can repair pipes located:
- Under driveways
- Beneath gardens and landscaping
- Under buildings or extensions
- Below concrete or paved areas
- Around trees and root systems
- Near swimming pools
Relining allows us to repair pipes that would otherwise be extremely difficult or impossible to access with traditional excavation methods.
